Hula Dancers and Hauntings: Gabe Maxfield Mysteries, #2

By J.C. Long

It’s Halloween time in Hawai’i and of course Gabe Maxfield is in business. Gabe owes lu’au owner Hiapo a favor (read Tiki Torches and Treasure to find out why!) so when weird things start happening at his lu’au, strange enough to frighten off his hula dancers, he comes to Gabe for help. Skeptical as always, Gabe steps into a creepy mystery where things are going missing or getting moved around and people are disappearing left and right. Can he solve the mystery before everyone he knows falls prey to the woods?

HAVE YOU READ this article in today’s paper? Grace Park asked from where she lounged on the black leather couch that decorated the waiting room at Paradise Investigations.

You know I avoid the paper at all costs, Gabe Maxfield replied dryly. He paced back and forth in front of the secretary’s desk, looking at the clock on the wall once every three seconds or so.

Apparently, there’s been another body found in the suburbs, Grace said, obviously ignoring Gabe’s lack of interest. There was nothing new about that, though; it seemed to be Grace’s default operating mode. Some sort of wild animal attack, they’re saying. Isn’t that weird, Gabe?

I guess so, Gabe agreed, though he hadn’t even really been paying attention to what she was saying. They had one more client supposedly coming in, but they were running late.

You’re so damn antsy, Grace chided. Chill out. We’ve got plenty of time. Your date with Maka isn’t for another three hours. We’ve never had a consultation last that long. You’re just working yourself into a state over nothing.

He knew Grace was right, but that just made it worse for some reason. He hated the idea of being late for a date, especially since Maka had been very busy recently and their chances for date nights had decreased exponentially, even though they literally lived next door to each other.
